Section 1
What changes today
Nothing for your cash workflow.
Your Excel still refreshes at 8 AM. Your 13-week forecast still ships Friday. Your 4-bank rollup still consolidates Chase, BoA, Wells, and the credit-union account into one row. Your daily founder email still arrives at 7 AM with three numbers and a "you're fine" if you're fine.
We are paying customers who built around a Monday-morning ritual and a Friday-afternoon close. A new chat assistant in the market doesn't move either deadline.
Section 2
What Claude for Small Business does well
Use it for these. Seriously.
QuickBooks operational queries
"Which customer is highest AR right now?" — Claude answers in 2 seconds.
Drafting collection / vendor emails
Pull the AR balance, draft the polite escalation, paste into Outlook. Saves real time.
HubSpot / CRM ops
Pipeline reports, lead categorization, one-off "summarize this customer" prompts.
One-off "explain this" questions
"Why did our March AR spike?" — Claude can reason about it from data you paste in.
Section 3
What Claude for Small Business doesn't do (yet)
These are the workflows your CFO seat opens before the coffee finishes. They are not chat prompts. They are recurring views — same screen, same time, same numbers, every morning.
Live multi-bank cash position
Chase + BoA + Wells + Mercury + credit unions, by-account, refreshed daily with on-demand sync. Not a chat prompt — a dashboard.
Multi-entity rollup
Parent + subs aggregated, drillable, intercompany flagged. Required for any business above one LLC.
Deterministic 13-week forecaster
Auto-detects recurring payroll / rent / AP cycles, trains nightly, never hallucinates. A treasurer's forecast is not a guess.
Excel-native delivery
Live cells inside the workbook your controller already uses. Board pack, variance, runway sheet — TreasuryFlow Excel add-in writes into them.
AR aging report on demand
0-30 / 31-60 / 61-90 / 90+ buckets, per-customer, refreshed daily with on-demand sync. Plus the email-template hand-off.
Anomaly scoring for treasury
"This vendor charged 4x last week." "This account dropped below the threshold." The morning alert your CFO would otherwise miss.
Claude is a great second tool — for one-off questions. TreasuryFlow is the first tool — the one that shows up at 7 AM with the numbers already computed.
Section 4
Our roadmap — moving with the AI wave, not against it
We are not in denial that AI is reshaping finance tooling. We're building for it. Three near-term ships:
TreasuryFlow MCP server — on the roadmap
So Claude (or any LLM agent) can call US for cash data, by-account balance, AR aging, forecast points. Your firm becomes the data layer Claude reasons over.
Plaid Liabilities digest — on the roadmap
Credit lines, auto loans, mortgages — pulled nightly, included in the 13-week. The full picture of cash + debt without a manual entry.
BYOT (Bring Your Own Template) — already shipped
Upload your firm's existing forecast Excel — TreasuryFlow fills it nightly with live bank data. Your template, your variance columns, our refresh.
We are moving with the AI wave, not against it. The right question is not "Claude or TreasuryFlow." The right question is "what does my CFO open at 6:45 AM, and what do they ask Claude at 2 PM?" Different tools, different jobs.
